Need 1 as narrator to choose quotes/sections from LotR to keep the story moving forward/following the basic flow of LotR (details etc can all get changed!)

Other people need to bring in outside characters to replace LotR characters as the story progresses. Like Spock for Legolas, Anakin for Boromir, Big Bird for Gandalf (can you imagine Big Bird shooting off fireworks and the message he'd tell the audience as he did so at Bilbo's birthday party? Or what he'd do to fight the Balrog!?), etc, and see how mixed-up and hilarious or thrilling we can make LotR!
